Supervisors and managers today are often tasked with leading a workforce they rarely see in person, including teleworkers, contractors, and remote team members. This course provides practical strategies for maintaining performance, communication, and accountability in a virtual environment. Participants will explore the requirements of the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-292) and examine the challenges of implementing these standards in real-world settings. The curriculum highlights the commonalities between managing on-site and remote employees, offering techniques to bridge the gap between the two.
Through discussions, case examples, and curated resources, participants will gain tools to support effective virtual team management. Topics include contingency planning for situations where employees cannot access the office, methods for fostering collaboration, and ways to integrate agency-specific policies and collective bargaining agreements. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to tailor strategies to their organization’s needs, implement a successful virtual workforce program, and access a selection of online tools to enhance ongoing management efforts.
Students should have prior experience working in collaborative or team-based environments, familiarity with basic workplace communication and professional conduct, and an understanding of organizational policies or practices that support respectful and inclusive interactions.
